Hello!

I just noticed that a Rollei 35 l’ve been just lent for testing has the rewind lever moving 90 degrees instead of 180 degrees.

The lever sits horizontally in line with the serial number and just goes up towards the R (rewind symbol), but not fully down 180 degrees.

Might this be a huge problem, and might it cause the film roll to rip when rewinding?

Asking, as I had to take the film physically from the camera and then place in reel for developing.

I liked the camera, but if the rewind lever issue is a serious one, I think I’ll pass if not a simple fix.

Thanks!
